  “So he , (Moses ),<br>was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; <br><br>he did not eat bread or drink water. <br><br>And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.”<br>‭‭E.NASB2020<br><br>“And immediately the Spirit *brought Him out into the wilderness. <br>And <br>He was in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan; <br>and <br>He was with the wild animals, <br>and <br>the angels were serving Him.”<br>‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬<br><br>“And after <br><br>He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, <br><br>He then became hungry.”<br>‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬<br><br>“But He said to them, <br><br>“I have food to eat of which you do not know.” <br><br>Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?” <br><br>Jesus said <br>to them, <br>“My food<br>is <br>to do the will of Him <br>who sent Me, <br>and to finish His work.”<br>‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬<br><br>“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection <br>and <br>the life. <br>The one who <br>believes <br>in Me, even if he dies, will live.”<br>‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭HCSB‬‬<br><br>“Jesus replied, “This is the work of God — that you believe <br>in the One He has sent.””<br>‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭29‬ ‭HCSB‬‬<br><br>“And He could not do any miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. <br>And <br>He was amazed at their <br><br>unbelief. <br><br>And He was going around the villages, teaching.”<br>‭‭<br>Is Jesus introducing us to believe <br>a reality <br>that is inconceivable.<br>A reality that is known by revelation?<br> Revelation after the fact of believing <br>and being thrown into the<br>fiery furnace <br>to experience the unimaginable reality of the One Who calls things to be that are not .<br><br>I have all the ability of a<br>sheep. <br>In that identity is inherent <br>‘ humility’ &nbsp;if I truly accept <br>that <br>I don’t know <br>what<br> I don’t know ?<br><br><br>“…, and <br>no one knows the Father except the Son <br>and <br>anyone <br>to whom the Son desires to <br>reveal Him.”<br>‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭27‬ ‭HCSB‬‬<br><br> Could the challenge be to <br>believe <br>and <br> have disciplined behavioral response to our circumstances <br>to do His will , His way ?<br><br>Was Satan’s &nbsp;temptation ,<br>for Jesus ,<br>to do the Fathers will ,<br>other than the Fathers way ?<br><br>Was the Son of man sweating drops of blood ,<br>knowing the consequence of Israel not knowing the ‘ time of their visitation’ and the consequences of what happens when the tree is dry?<br>As He asks the Father if there is any other way , nevertheless not My will but Yours be done.
